[MC-19592] 1.5.2 clients show server 1.6.1 as 1.3 in Multiplayer screen

When viewing a 1.6.1 server in the Multiplayer menu on 1.5.2 it shows as 1.3. This has confused a few players of my server and I'm pretty sure its a glitch.

Tails 2013-06-28T17:25:11Z

Confirmed.

Cory 2013-06-28T18:20:24Z

In older clients, I'm also getting this,

After recreatiing the server I've recieved the same error, Instead of making another issue figure this was related.

Anon Ymus 2013-06-28T20:43:53Z

Confirmed as well.

Craft MIner 2013-06-29T13:02:37Z

you should keep this issue as private...

Why would this need to be private? It has no security issues or anything. It's just an information error.

Keir Nellyer 2013-06-29T13:40:13Z

Why keep it private?

Anon Ymus 2013-06-29T14:48:27Z

Don't mark issues as private, unless your bug report is a security issue containing information that may compromise your server/client. (Which this is not.) People cannot view issues that are private, and so there will be many more dupes.

In MC 1.6.1, the client sends a "Plugin Message" packet along with the request server info packet, the server responds correctly in this case.
If the server does not receive the plugin packet then it sends a pre-1.3 format response (that contains no protocol version info, so old clients assume 1.3)

Keir Nellyer 2013-06-30T15:33:16Z

Thanks for informing us. Makes sense now.

Cory Morgan 2013-06-30T15:47:04Z

I can vouch for this, i actually got really confused on why it said that.

Keir Nellyer 2013-06-30T18:24:53Z

I guess this isn't really a bug then, however I would've expected it to say 1.5

Erik Broes 2013-07-01T12:59:48Z

Fixed.

Jamie Thompson 2013-07-01T18:45:55Z

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I'm getting the same problem (server reporting as version 1.3) with a 1.6.1 client and a 1.6.1 server...

Cory 2013-07-01T19:27:22Z

Yes it's been confirmed fixed.

Aaron Clark 2013-07-01T19:37:24Z

Confirmed, but still not fixed Cory. Just updated my server and it still showed at 1.3.

But to add (since I haven't seen anything said about it yet) the server does run 1.6 (or 1.6.1) and you can log in just fine with all the updates etc. Just a glitch in version display

(edit, added that glitch is still happening)

kumasasa 2013-07-01T19:55:34Z

It is fixed for the (not yet released) version 1.6.2 not for 1.6.1

Jamie Thompson 2013-07-01T20:25:38Z

Aaron, it doesn't let me log in when it misdetects the version - the join server button is disabled. If I keep refreshing it sometimes picks up the server is 1.6.1 and then the button is enabled as normal and I can connect and play fine. I have three server instances on the same server (and on my list), and it randomly detects different ones as 1.6.1 each refresh, if indeed at all.

Aaron Clark 2013-07-01T20:56:45Z

Thanks Kumasasa !

Jamie, I updated the jar file to 1.6.1, and updated to the latest launcher (same one from a week or so ago?) and when I logged in, I admit I freaked out a little, thought all my work in the snapshots was gone!

These server instances, are they different versions? or did you update all their jar files?

Jamie Thompson 2013-07-01T21:55:49Z

One of them is Craftbukkit, so 1.5.2 and irrelevant here, but the other two are using the stock 1.6.1 (just multiple invocations of the same jar).

Andrew Kim 2013-07-02T14:20:26Z

Are we all on a mac?

Andrew Kim 2013-07-02T14:20:57Z

Cause, my friends that have a PC (Which is all of them) doesn't say 1.3 in 1.6 servers.

Anon Ymus 2013-07-02T15:18:20Z

I'm on a PC, and am getting this.

Cory 2013-07-02T15:38:14Z

Please wait for 1.6.2 - Not much you we do at this point.

Philipp Gächter 2013-07-24T16:36:47Z

I have client v1.6.2 and server v1.6.2
The 1.6.2 server shows up as 1.3 in the 1.6.2 client. But only via Internet, not local.

Connecting via local is possible and working perfectly. Connecting via Internet is not working.

I deleted the IP@Internet and local server and tried to connect to the dynamic DNS routed server before the "Join Server" button goes unclickable.
It does not work, but throws some errors: http://i.imgur.com/L7Ek1Tc.png
